Anna, the "spectacular" spy thriller starring Cillian Murphy and Helen Mirren, is leaving Prime Video very soon. Released in 2019, the film stars Sasha Luss as Anna Poliatova, a domestic abuse survivor who escapes her life in Moscow to become a fashion model in Paris.

Living a double life, Anna is a trained KGB assassin who uses her skills to pit the KGB and the CIA against one another.

The logline reads: "Beneath Anna Poliatova's striking beauty lies a secret that will unleash her indelible strength and skill to become one of the world's most feared government assassins."

Written and directed by Luc Besson, Anna is leaving Prime Video in 13 days. For those without a subscription, Prime Video is offering a 30-day free trial, meaning you could catch Anna for free.

On IMDb, Anna has a user rating of 6.7 out of 10 from 109,000 reviews, with viewers praising the spy thriller for its twists and turns.

"Entertaining, lots of twists and turns, never quite sure what's next or where it's going, but the ride's good, especially the 4 leads. Almost didn't rent due to some bad reviews here, I guess sometimes good to trust the positive ones," penned another.

One user wrote: "Story took several smart twists and turns I didn't expect and it kept me focused intently. Helen did a great job as usual and the lead was captivating and quietly realistic. Luc did a good job on the story directing and casting.

"Far better and more sophisticated than Salt and others, I was pleasantly surprised, thanks for the enjoyable ride."
